London | Uncapped Tom Abel was on Thursday included in England’s ODI and T20 squads for their tour of Bangladesh. Abel, who captained the England Lions ODI team against Sri Lanka, also recently made an appearance in the SA20 in South Africa. He bats in the middle order and can contribute with the ball as well.
The 28-year-old led Somerset’s batting charts in the County Championship 2022 with 1039 runs at 51.95 and also featured in the Lanka Premier League, Sri Lanka’s domestic T20 league, in December.
Meanwhile, young leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed was also included in the white-ball squad for the first time. The teenage leg-spinner impressed on his Test debut in Karachi last December, taking seven wickets at 19.57.
England fast bowler Saqib Mahmood, who last featured in the Test squad against the West Indies last year, made a comeback into the ODI squad. The Lancashire player has 14 ODI wickets at an average of 19.92.
Jofra Archer, who recently made his international comeback against South Africa, has also found a place in both the teams. Ben Stokes, Harry Brook and Ollie Stone have been left out since being included in the Test squad to play against New Zealand in late February.
Alex Hales, who was just behind Jos Buttler in the run-scoring charts for England in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022, was left out of the T20 squad. Ben Duckett and Will Jacks have been included in the T20 squad.
England will play three ODIs and three T20Is in Bangladesh from March 1, with all six matches taking place in Dhaka and Chattogram.
